East Coast Trip 2024 - July 10

July 10: We woke up later than usual, the fog lifted and we saw blue skies and scattered clouds. Lucky has a cat tube and when we are stationary, we've started keeping it in the front window. Her warm (plug in) bed has a permanent home on the dashboard and she loves the scenery. Our drive today was only 72 miles and most of those miles were on a 4-lane highway. Not much to see along the tree-lined route so not many pictures. We arrived at our spot in Saint John, NB, for the next couple of nights by about 12:30 pm. Rain is in the forecast during our stay and we hope it won't put a "damper" on our stay. Close to our campground is a lovely restaurant and all travelers enjoyed a meal together in two shifts, ours was at 4:30 pm. The restaurant is known for its seafood chowder which we enjoyed with a dessert to follow.

Mexico 2025 - Day 19

March 27: The alarm clocks were off and it was good to wake up with no specific plans in place except to visit with friends. It was a hot day in Yuma so the ACs were running all day in the RV. We spent a quiet day relaxing with our friends. I had prepared a few meals for the freezer for our trip, and we had one of my ground beef and vegetable "stoups" - not a stew or a soup, but a combination of both - with some delicious warm sourdough bread and garlic butter. Ice cream was for dessert, thanks to our gracious hosts.

March 23: We hit the road again today this was the longest day on the road - 233 miles on 2-lane, narrow, potholed roads from Bahia de los Angeles to Vicente Guerrero. We left before 8:30 am and arrived at our next stop at nearly 6 pm. We did stop for a "bio" breaks and lunch. It was a tough day especially for our solo camper. She had to do everything on her own. We took pictures along the way of wild horses and the beautiful mountainous scenery. When we arrived, we all got ourselves situated and then went to the campground's restaurant, Posada Don Diego, for cocktails (more Margaritas) and dinner which was all part of our tour package. We all had made meal choices before we left the US which we didn't remember, so our chosen meal was a nice surprise. There wasn't much socializing that evening after dinner because we were all very tired.

East Coast Trip 2024 - October 8

October 8: Balloon Fiesta departure day. It has been an amazing time at the Fiesta. We have met some wonderful folks from all over the US, as is usual on a FRVT. We enjoyed the balloons again but they were flying in full force. It was hard to leave the park(ing lot) because this was the very best day we had for balloons. They were everywhere. We packed up our stuff, hitched up the Jeep and were on our way. We made a reservation with Harvest Host at a museum at the south entrance to the Petrified Forest National Park and arrived at about 3:30 pm. We settled in, enjoyed a meal then toured the museum and, of course, found something to buy. We were able to get a site with 30 amp power so we could run an AC.
